[MCN-L] Javascript thumbnail/gallery viewer recommendation?

2013-03-09 Thread Michael J. Bennett
Chris,

You may have already done this, but have you kicked the tires on Omeka 
http://omeka.org/ by chance?  It's more of a php thing, though, than perhaps 
what you're ideally looking for.

I actually like your current Vuefind - IIPMooViewer integration.  It looks like 
you're serving up the slides as scalable JPEG 2000 masters?  I'm not sure if 
Omeka would play as nicely with IIP.  But I haven't tested either in some time 
now, so I'm a bit rusty on the latest and greatest.

Michael

Subject: [MCN-L] Javascript thumbnail/gallery viewer recommendation?

We are looking for a piece of software for our thumbnail/gallery view that 
would ideally be written in Javascript or Jquery.  We have a collection of 
35000 35mm slides that are described at the box level (eg Uxmal [10 of 28 
slides]) and want to include this as part of our Digital Library to allow a 
user to view an entire box at a time.  Almost like a digital contact sheet.  
The collection in question can be seen at: 
http://brbl-dl.library.yale.edu/vufind/Search/Results?lookfor=erdoestype=AllFieldssubmit=Findhttp://brbl-dl.library.yale.edu/vufind/Record/3739167

There are a million such packages that turn up with a google search, most or at 
least a lot of them are suited to the blog world, so I thought Id turn here to 
see what people are using in their own digital collections to achieve such a 
function.  Any anecdotes, recommendations, reviews or suggestions would be most 
welcome.

Thanks!

Chris.
